ColorStrokes Cosmetics, established in 1988 as the sister company of Brushes By Karen, is a New York based Manufacturer/Wholesaler of private label cosmetics, brushes & accessories dedicated to creating beauty products that really work and are as safe for your body on the inside as they are for your skin on the outside. ColorStrokes is proud to now produce clean, natural, gluten-free, & vegan makeup.

“We do not sacrifice quality for story. Our formulations are highly praised for their beautiful texture and great payoff with the highly pigmented color that goes on smooth and stays on all day! We are proud to help people paint a pretty face, naturally,” says Karen Bock, President and Founder of ColorStrokes Cosmetics and Brushes by Karen, Inc.

Bock started back in 1988 by selling cosmetic brushes to salons and spas. Brushes have always been a core part of the business. In fact, Brushes By Karen has been a leader for supplying the industry with top quality cosmetic brushes for over 2 decades. Beginning in 2008, Bock expanded on synthetic, cruelty free and vegan friendly brushes.

“Our synthetic, vegan, cosmetic brush lines have been highly coveted by the beauty industry; especially, since the launch of our new natural, organic cosmetics line,” explains Bock. “Estheticians who desire natural, cruelty free ingredients in their skin care can now be consistent with their eco-conscious commitment by matching ingredients with our high quality synthetic brushes.”

ColorStrokes is now transitioning out of the makeup they have been selling for over 20 years into an all-natural makeup with ingredients that are carefully selected, sourced, derived raw directly from nature, and tested to work in harmony with each other. With a seemingly endless supply of cosmetic suppliers, ColorStrokes Cosmetics stands out by supplying a private label, all-natural alternative. They have taken products typically laden with chemicals and turned them all natural, vegan, gluten free, loaded with certified organic ingredients, and made in the USA.

These ingredients provide for a gentler and safer application on the skin, and are free of all ingredients known to be harmful and irritable. Their products are all free from artificial colors, preservatives, fragrance and pore clogging

ingredients making it ideal for sensitive skin and eyes. They are excellent for providing healthy coverage with ingredients that help feed your skin with nourishing nutrients, leaving each person looking flawless. Additionally, these products are becoming well known for being environmentally conscious, not utilizing synthetic chemicals or animal by-products, and being created without testing them on animals.

The fully stocked product line is ready for you to label, helping startups, small and growing companies take the hard work out of going natural. From the new natural, organic line to the award winning Natural Mineral Line and abundant choice of Cosmetic Brushes, the wide variety of product choices can be customized to meet your needs without excessive minimums. Finished products can be ordered with just an ingredient and shade label for your own branding, or custom decorated just for you.
